Start Your Winter Swimming!
Although the average temperature is still not low in coastal southern cities in late December, the cold air in the morning and evening announces that harsh winter is no longer far away from us. Everyone knows there are many benefits of
winter swimming, so many swimmers will choose to go swimming in winter. If we count the time, we can arrange it step by step. But before taking part in winter swimming, we reminds everyone that these points as follows should not be forgotten!
1. Step by step
Winter swimming is an intense exercise that deeply mobilizes physical functions. Tests show that the external resistance (TPQ) of heart pumping function increases only 4 times than before. After entering into the water suddenly, it increases 123 times, which is easy to cause damage to the heart. Therefore, we should begin to exercise in summer and autumn to adapt water temperature gradually. It is best to make a transition with a cold bath before diving. It is also recommended to adapt to the water temperature gradually after diving, so as to avoid dangerous situations.
2. Do what you can.
At different water temperatures, the human body can endure different time span, and how long it can swim varies from person to person. Therefore, when
swimming in winter, everyone can grasp the time according to their own conditions, such as physical fitness, swimming equipment, bearing capacity, etc.. Pay attention to doing what they can, and don't be bravado, because too much is easy to cause problems, and too little can't achieve the purpose of exercise.
3. Combine with other sports.
No matter which season you swim, you should do preparatory activities before swimming, as well as
winter swimming. But don't do too much exercise, you can leg press, do exercises, run and jump. In principle, it is best not to sweat. After landing, it's best to pat each other's backs to speed up the warming, and then run or punch to get rid of the chill in the body.
4. Pay attention to skin care.
Referring to so-called snow without wind, the weather is dry in autumn and winter. After swimming, the moisture in the skin is taken away, which makes it easier to dry and crack. Therefore, it is recommended to apply skin cream to the easy-to-crack surfaces when swimming in autumn. It is best to use natural and non-irritating ingredients, which can give dry skin better moisturizing care.
We specially remind everyone to keep warm when
swimming in winter, and prepare clean dry towels and cotton slippers so as not to catch a cold and get sick.
